BJP Slams TMC's 'Anti-Hindu Sentiment' Over Mahua Moitra's Diwali Post Fiasco

This special report covers the political controversy surrounding Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra after she backed a Canadian vlogger's post that called Indians 'braindead' and Diwali 'garbage'. The MP defended saying that, 'I reposted a wrong vlog by mistake'. Faced with severe backlash, Moitra issued an apology, stating the action was an error made while travelling. The incident provided an opportunity for the BJP, which heavily criticised Moitra and the TMC, accusing them of harbouring 'anti-Indian, anti-Hindu sentiment'. The controversy gained further traction in the charged political climate of West Bengal, with both parties leveraging the issue as the state's assembly elections were approaching, according to the transcript.
